Will have to familiarize with internals and svn first :o).

BTW, it ries compiling librnd with LTO and it takes _forever_ . 
I've killed linker after an hour of linking.

LTO has significantly accelerated old PCB for me. 

I used this configure script:

LIBRND_DIR=/home/000_MAIN/000_PROJECTS/DEV/LIBRND_SVN/000_LIB
COMMON_FLAGS="-march=native -O3 -flto=none -fuse-linker-plugin -pipe"

pushd scconfig

make

./configure --prefix=${LIBRND_DIR}  CFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}" LDFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS} -Wl,-O3 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed"
popd

It also seems to compile package within source directory.
Which doesn't get cleaned 100% with "make distclean" as subsequent
compile does't behave the same way.

Is there some trick to it or is one expected to nuke and recreate
everything after each attempt ?

For example, fist LTO attempts failed for me UNTIL the first time
I did full non-LTO compile and install. After that, LTO compiles and
installs finish fine...
